Chapter 67 Qingshan Building Materials Factory

Shanqian Village, Zhao Wenmu’s new home.

At the end of August, when the Shanqian Village water pumping station was about to be completed, Zhao Xuelei suddenly found Zhao Wenmu.

"Xiao Mu, my second uncle wants to discuss something with you."

Zhao Xuelei came uninvited and made it clear that he wanted to stay for lunch. It seemed that he had something serious to say.

Zhao Jing said hello to him and then got into the kitchen.

Prepare food and drinks for the two of you.

"Second uncle, just tell me what's going on."

It was hot now, so Zhao Wenmu simply invited him to sit in the small courtyard at the back. There was originally a tree here. When Zhao Wenmu built his new house, he left this tree behind.

A few stools were also placed under the shade of the trees, where he and Zhao Jing sometimes enjoyed the shade.

"I want to build a factory in the village so that everyone can earn more income. Are you interested in investing in it?"

When Zhao Wenmu heard about this, he immediately became interested.

Of course, it is impossible for him to invest in it.

In this era, private individuals cannot invest in building factories or starting companies.

All are under the collective name.

That is to say, the factory is built in the name of a production team, and in name it is a collectively owned enterprise.

But there is a big drawback in doing this. Who does the factory belong to?

If the management is not good, there will be no profit.

Once you run a good business, you will face a lot of troubles in the future. Either you will not be able to get your equity back, and your hard work for many years will be used as a wedding dress for others. Or you will operate improperly, and you will face accusations of misappropriating state-owned assets when you get your equity back. For this reason

There are many people who are imprisoned.

Fortunately, Dajiang Dahe's Lei Dongbao's crime of embezzling and transferring assets was not proven, otherwise it would not be as simple as just a few years in prison!

In this era of imperfect systems, how many people have made a fortune by embezzling state-owned assets.

How many people work hard all their lives but make wedding clothes for others.

It can be said that among the rich people in the early days of reform and opening up, which one did not have original sin?

Zhao Wenmu also experienced this in his previous life.

There is no way, unless it is affiliated with the village collective or state-owned enterprise, it will be impossible to carry out business at all.

But in this life, he has thousands of ways to make money, and he doesn't even bother to consider such a high-risk option.

However, although he did not participate, he was very concerned about the establishment of the factory in Shanqian Village.

In the previous life, Shanqian Village relied on the two household quotas in 1980 and 1981 to rapidly improve its life and have the most primitive capital.

Later, he established his own red brick factory in 1985.

Later, there were construction teams, food factories, fiberglass factories, clothing factories and other factories. It can be said that they have always been at the forefront of the era of rural reform and development, but these factories have never become bigger or stronger.

The limitations of farmers' vision and lack of foresight naturally limit the upper limit of their development.

Marx made this very clear.

"Second uncle, what factory do you plan to build?"

Zhao Wenmu asked with great interest.

"I plan to build a red brick factory. This time I built a water pumping station, but I found that many places are under construction. Red bricks and cement are all in short supply."

The times are about to change dramatically. In the next few decades, the face of the entire country will change rapidly, and every day will be different from the day before.

What does it rely on?

Too many things.

But the most basic thing is the same, building materials.

Zhao Xuelei still wants to build a red brick factory, just like in his previous life.

But it was more than four years in advance.

The reason is simple. He is rich now. In his previous life, even in 1985, the money to build the red brick factory was raised by selling iron in Shanqian Village.

If this wasn't enough, Zhao Xuelei dug out another 1,000 yuan from the commune!

The commune secretary stayed away when he saw him.

"Second uncle, red bricks are a good thing. The country has stabilized in the past two years and will get better and better in the future. The demand for red bricks will definitely increase."

"Not only that, things like cement and prefabricated boards will be used more and more."

Nowadays, it is good enough for many people to use red bricks. Cement and prefabricated boards are generally not used, and most of them use lime.

Zhao Xuelei nodded after hearing this.

Why did he come to Zhao Wenmu?

It's because this guy has many ideas and sees things thoroughly.

He hesitated for a long time about building a red brick factory and never made up his mind.

The main reason why I came to talk to Zhao Wenmu today is to ask Zhao Wenmu to help analyze whether building a red brick factory is reliable.

"Second uncle, the investment in the red brick factory is not big and the technology is simple. There is clay on the mountain east of Sanli Village. You can give them some shares and find a way to get that mountain over. I think it can be done!"

It is a good idea to open a red brick factory.

Zhao Wenmu also wanted to work hard to promote this matter.

Zhao Xuelei had naturally thought about the clay mountain. His idea was to give Sanli Village some shares or simply spend money to contract the mountain.

"Xiao Mu, are you interested in investing in the stock?"

Zhao Xuelei asked tentatively.

He also knows that the so-called shareholding now can only be under the name of a collective.

When he wanted Zhao Wenmu to buy shares, he mainly valued the other party's vision and management ability, not the other party's money.

He carefully calculated with the accountant of the production team and found that the total investment in building a brick kiln with an annual output of 1.2 million red bricks would not exceed 7,000 yuan.

If another 2,000 yuan is reserved as operating capital, the red brick factory will be able to operate smoothly.

A total of 9,000 yuan is needed!

During this period, Zhao Wenmu harvested game and mushrooms and paid more than 10,000 yuan to the team!

Transportation can be done using the production team's oxen carts and mule carts, and there is no need to purchase additional bricks. The demand for red bricks currently exceeds supply, and sometimes transportation does not even require a seller.

"Second uncle, forget about buying a share. Now I have to collect mushrooms and run the food stalls in the city. I'm really too busy."

Zhao Wenmu declined directly.

Zhao Xuelei could see that he was resolute, so he stopped talking about this topic.

Zhao Jing brought food and wine, and the uncle and nephew chatted while eating.

There is no rule in Shanqian Village that men cannot eat while women are not allowed to sit at the table. The only rule is that men drink, smoke, make noises, and eat in a smoky atmosphere. Women and children generally do not want to sit at the same table with men during banquets.

At this moment, the two of them were just chatting, and Zhao Jing naturally sat aside and ate quietly.

After listening to the two talking for a while, Zhao Jing suddenly said:

"Second uncle, why not also make prefabricated panels?"

"Prefabricated panels are simple to make, but they require a lot of labor, and everyone can earn more money. Our village is not far from the city, and I see that construction is going on everywhere in the city. This thing should be easy to sell."

Zhao Jing goes to the city every day to set up stalls these days and is very familiar with the city.

Zhao Xuelei and Zhao Wenmu thought about it and felt that what Zhao Jing said made sense.

Since you are going to do it, there is no need to just make red bricks.

The cement factory in Shanqian Village definitely does not have this capability, but it would be much simpler if it was just making prefabricated panels.

This thing is just a hollow model nailed with wooden boards. After placing steel bars in the hollow part of the model, fill the hollow part with cement and knock off the wooden boards after it dries.

The rest is just prefabricated panels.

It can be transported directly to the construction site for installation and use.

"Ah Jing is right, we can make prefabricated panels at the same time."

Zhao Xuelei nodded.

The young couple in front of him really surprised him again and again.

After returning home, Zhao Xuelei convened a meeting with cadres to discuss the construction of the factory. After the internal discussion was approved, he held a meeting of all members.
